Antoine Pevsner (30 January [O.S. 18 January] 1886 – 12 April

1962) was a Belarusian and Russian sculptor and the older brother

of Alexii Pevsner and Naum Gabo. Both Antoine and Naum are

considered pioneers of twentieth-century sculpture.

Pevsner was born in Klimavichy, Belarus. Among the originators

of and having coined the term, Constructivism, and pioneers of

Kinetic Art, they discovered a new use for metals and welding and

made a new marriage of art and mathematics.

"Art must be inspiration controlled by mathematics. I

have a need for peace, symphony, orchestration."-

Antoine Pevsner

Pevsner's studio was on the outskirts of Paris and housed his

sculptures. He was one of the first to use the blowtorch in

sculpture, welding copper rods onto sculptural forms.[1]

Along with his brother, Naum, he issued the Realist Manifesto in 1920. He died in Paris, age 76.
